Background and approach
Bonnie has worked with people coping with trauma and abuse and those managing bipolar disorder or ADHD.

In sessions she helps clients identify patterns that make life harder, practice new ways of handling stress, and build skills to manage strong emotions.
When substance use is part of the problem, she addresses both the addiction and the life issues around it. Her approach includes supporting people through forgiveness, guilt, loss, and questions about life purpose. Bonnie aims to help clients find clearer choices and more steady days.
People who want practical strategies and a steady guide through change may find her style useful. She works with each person to set goals and choose steps that feel doable.
Approaches that guide online work and coping skills
Bonnie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skills. One common approach involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing it with new behavior to reduce anxiety and depressive thinking. This helps people break cycles of worry and try different responses in daily life.Another key approach emphasizes managing strong emotions and building coping skills. That work teaches short, usable tools for calming down, tolerating distress, and handling cravings for someone facing addictions. Those skills are aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and reducing crisis moments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and challenges, then adjusts methods to fit. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays practical and useful.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, ongoing skill reminders, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit work on stress, anxiety, or addiction into real schedules.
